I completely agree with PM. . . you cannot blame the Judges for letting this guy out on probation. . . His scoresheet probably does not raise to the magic 44 points needed for state prison time, absent any statutory mitigators (which I doubt he has). As for his being given a bond for the new law violation. . the constitution says he gets one – just like you, but he is not entitled to one for the violation of probation charge that it coming soon. . . so he ain’t going anywhere. As for Mike and Joe – if you demand that everyone be put in jail, who are you going to let out to make bed space for this guy, or would you prefer raising taxes for building more. I would rather have a stupid burlgar on the street than a crafty child molester. And my last point is just this. . . to solve the entire problem, all we have to do is give them all directions to JDG’s place in Molino, tell them to go there for probation check-in around midnight – I think this guy would bite that hook.

For those apologizing for the judges. Sorry judges have more leeway than he used in this case AND they can do more if they want to correct these types of mistakes.

Did the judge really have no choice but to give probation?

This is NOT a case of poor mistaken kid – first mistake he made. Maybe the first time it might have worked but it didn’t so why give him probation now. THIS IS A CAREER IN THE MAKING. A hard punishment is the only thing that could have gotten this kids attention. “Oh just don’t do that again” and we know about you and will be watching isn’t enough.

The problem is not with the Judges in most cases. The State Legislature is responsible for Sentencing guidelines and absent considerable aggravating circumstances they are bound by those guidelines. so if the community wants this to change they need to contact their representatives and senators and see about getting the law changed. If the probation officer is on his/her toes there will be a no bond warrant signed by Judge Geeker and served Monday. Further, Judge Geeker, Shackelford, and Nobles are very fine judges and follow the letter of the law. I really hate to see them maligned on this website because people do not understand how the Criminal Justice system functions.

Probation was a fair punishment. Probation again would be fair. Maybe next time he will break in on someone who is not afraid to defend themselves, their family and their property. BINGO! One less thug in the gene pool.

He apparently is not fit for society so get the fly swatter and end it or just send him my way, I dial 357 not 911.

REGARDING:
” all of his older crimes was in just the last year or so ”

Could be, but don’t forget, crimes ere he hit 18 (October 19 of last year) won’t be listed. I’m surprised the seat belt and motorcycle and speeding through small children areas charges are listed.
